Supreme Court eases standards for modifying consent decrees
The Supreme Court unanimity relaxes how federal judges handle government requests to modify settlements on prison and mental hospital conditions and school desegregation. It also allows broader protective use of out-of-court statements in child abuse cases and clears the way for Doherty deportation to Great Britain, denying asylum hearings. The decision could affect hundreds of state facilities under consent decrees, including Michigan prisons facing cost overruns.
